He grows a mustache, abandons his signature gray suit, and disguises himself, with a tie and cowboy hat, as a genuine American... a disguise that doesn't always work so well, as he keeps being mistaken for either a Dutchman—long story, better read the book to understand—or another Arthur Less—not the priest, nor the farmer, nor the actor—or, worst of all, a \"terrible gay.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e But Less's journey makes it clear that one cannot escape oneself—no matter how many deserts, swamps, and coastlines one crosses.
